“Drinking hot tea relaxes and opens the mind to a higher mental alertness. Grace through tea helps each person find their higher self and self love."

- Lynette Jee, Tea Lady

Hawaii’s Tea Lady

Founded in 1995, Lynette Jee (1954-2018) began her tea journey by creating proprietary 5-star tea programs for the finest hotels, restaurants, and spas in Hawaii. The Pacific Place became the major source for fine teas in establishments such as the Halekulani Hotel, the Kahala Hotel & Resort, the Princeville Resort, Neiman Marcus, and Mavro’s restaurant. A former civil rights attorney, Lynette’s determination to create a premier tea company with a message of health and wellness earned her the title of “Tea Lady” of Hawaii. From 2005 - 2013, she expanded her business and introduced a new flagship retail shop - The Pacific Place Tea Garden Cafe at Ala Moana Center, Hawaii’s world-class shopping center. The Tea Garden Cafe showcased the finest artisan teas and innovative tea drinks that provided a delicious and healthy alternative to sodas and sugary coffee drinks. She regularly featured free tea classes to educate customers about the world’s oldest drink. Her teas are available online and at select specialty stores and Whole Foods Markets in Hawaii.
